    Just been checking back through my Circle records for interest. This time last year, until July I was earning £20 a month with Prolific. It's now down to £20 cashout every 3 months :(

    The last year has been generally horrific for earning online, it's almost to the point where I'm not sure whether to bother continuing. Seems like the best earning opportunities have just dried up completely. I now make just over £5 a day - for all the effort I have to put in, on a variety of methods - it doesn't feel worth it.

    Only you can judge whether it is worth it or not - in my situation I would take £1-2 a day (as I have had a couple of stinging bills and for the next 3 months it will be very tight) - but if you do not need the cash then it might not be so worth it....

    I reckon I still make £20 from Prolific a month tbh, and prime time for Prolific is just around the corner, last year I was literally swamped with surveys for a couple of months.

    It is probably paused, mike. Very frustrating. I emailed PA about just this a week or so ago and contacted the researcher, who said she had informed PA. Why should they care, really? Not affecting their profit, is it?

    When this happens I tend to hit complete, email the researcher that their survey has ballsed up and offer to complete it another time. Its their error so I dont see why I should miss out on the chance to earn...

    Is anyone still getting the Error 404 (503) message? I've tried clearing my browser etc but it is still happening.

    Same for me, mikep. Think their server threw a wobbly or maybe just collapsed under the weight of the flurry of studies. Grrrr!

    Twice now I have had a study alert, only for the site to hang when I try to grab it, then get a list of 5 studies I am ineligible for. Anyone contacted PA yet?

    It probably can't cope with the fact there is actually more than one study a week coming in. Time to feed the hamster or replace it with its Siberian cousin, methinks. All together now, "Ba-zeel; Ba-zeel!"
